Warped headlights or not, these cars didn't need a movie to make them a car lusted for, unlike the Delorean.

So, so true.Β The DMC-12 is a horrible car.

Yep and like we said countless times before that if it wasn't for Back to the Future, these cars would've never recieved the love they do today, save for those few that are fans of the "ugly" cars of yesteryear.
While all the movie fans want a Delorean or Batmobile, I sit here by myself wanting one of these

I wouldn't call the DMC-12 ugly by any stretch of the imagination.Β I like them, but I know just how poorly built they really are.Β There's room for one in my dream garage, but I'm not sure it cracks my top hundred.
I remember that movie.Β First time I watched it I accurately predicted which characters were going to die and why, lol.Β Predictable, but a much better movie than Volcano.Β And a nice Suburban!

Yeah I guess not so much ugly but more or so having similar attributes that the Yugo had, more like reliability and such. Don't know if my dream garage would have one, but that's just my personal tastes, unless it were a solid gold one like the few they did make.
Hehe well yeah I agree that is most certainly better than Volcano, because it seems to have a more beliveable plot than that one, I get that they're only movies, but yeah better than "Oh yes a bunch of K-Rails, problem solved."

I know, right?Β Volcano completely lost my suspension of disbelief at that point.Β Dante's Peak at least dealt more with trying to survive and save as many people as possible.Β Yeah, it was predictable, but it was done well.

Awesome '70 Bird. I think those are the original (unrestored) headlights. Its pretty common for the originals to be warped...

Makes sense - DeLoreans have the same problem with their front clips...

Yeah, it was a common problem on the DeLoreans to, but its nice to see original parts on rare cars like the Superbird...
